Hi there, first post here on the forum.

Im currently studying animation and have been thinking about starting up some personal project to play around with on the side, and also if it goes well, to include in my showreel.

I just realized that making a custom class, atleast as far as the animations go, would be lots of fun and also the perfect thing to show developers when sending in work applications.

So the question is, where can i get information on how this works, is there any to be found even? So far i have found nothing on the net when searching for it.

I have all the necessary software(Max, maya) and enough skill with either to start animating as soon as i get a rig that works. With a little time i could probably set up my own rig, but that really isn't my thing.

If anyone knows someone who has done this or is working on this it would be a great help and any pointers towards information such as official posts on the matter or tutorials if there are any would be very very nice.

The project "plan" or rather idea as it is, it to make a hybrid between Barbarian and Monk classes, maybe make it a prestige class for those two... not sure yet, since i have not used the toolset at all basically. The focus primarily though, would be to make a whole new animation set for a humanoid, then worry about stats and such later ;)

Thanks in advance for any help, have a good one!
